  It’s possible to not give a fuck about Taylor Swift, but still care about her and her fellow billionaires outright destroying the world while glitzy magazines treat them as main characters in a soap opera, just going about their glamorous exploits and intrigue. It is fucking stupid to celebrate Taylor Swift’s anything, for as long as she remains a prime example of everything that is going wrong in the world: massive hoarding of wealth in a winner takes all economy obsessed with intangible assets (notably bands and song rights), excessive personal consumption and burning of fossil fuels, hyper commercialized culture mostly void of artistic expression.

  I don’t mind people that like her songs, but I’m fairly certain Swifties should be designated a death cult.

  The UK is just ahead of the curve

  The proliferation of unathorized opinions is threatening democracy! Doubleplus ungood.

  I’m not from the US, but I’m pretty sure that’s just for shooting up schools and raiding non-existent pedo dungeons underneath pizza parlors.

  Before, he’d have to explain that “well, formally, I’m not a doctor”.

  Moot, these are just sub-variants of the Swedish language.

  I dunno man, I’ve made it a point of pride to be rough with my Macbook over the years. They hold up well to repeated beatings and last a long time. I’d rate my 2017 Macbook Pro as hardier than the Thinkpad X1 Carbon I had as a company computer for my last job. And the MacBook might have been cheaper new too.

  Keeping thieves away by never cleaning the bike reminds me of the old bicycle touring strategy of hanging sweaty and unwashed clothes to dry from your handlebars when parked. Bonus theft deterrent!

  Also, I technically do have an engineering degree, which is why the lights and wiring are, ahem, functional. Most of the time.

  To be clear, having an engineering degree is cool – it’s the very specific (but all too common) type of engineer that wants jerk off into his own mouth when he sees a Cybertruck and organically follows Elon Musk on Twitter, that is lame and has a lot of bad ideas, sometimes about “innovation” of bicycles.

  Buying used makes a lot of sense, especially for commuting. The design of the bicycle was basically perfected in the late 1800s, anybody trying to tell you different is a fart boofing Tesla fanboy with an engineering degree and zero cycling experience.

  (Admittedly, I ride a carbon frame road bike with electronic shifting, not because I’m a shit sniffing engineer with a hard-on for Musk, but because I’m a middle-aged man with lycra for brains).

  Hah! Shows your morals! He could have meant you could build it, but your thief brain went straight to thieving, eh, thief?
